How to change logo in magento?

As you start to customize your newly installed Magento 1.6 webstore, you'll probably want to change the logo that displays in the top right section of the header on each page. This can be easily accomplished in the Magento 1.6 Admin Panel at any time.

Uploading your logo to Magento

In Magento 1.6, to change the logo you simply have to specify a new URL path to the logo. If you want to place the logo in the same folder as the default one, you'll have to use cPanel's File Manager or FTP. Each logo is relative to the template you are using. If you change the theme on your website, you'll have to upload the new image.

While this may sound complicated, it keeps the files and folders of Magento organized.

With your FTP program (in this example we'll use FileZilla), go to the root folder of Magento

Go to skin/frontend/default

From here you'll need to select the template you are using. Currently we're using the "modern" template so we'll click on that folder

Now, click on the images folder

Select the logo file, and upload the file

Setting the path to the logo in Magento

Now, that you have uploaded the image of your logo to Magento 1.6, we'll need to tell Magento where it is. Changing the file path or URL to your logo in Magento 1.6 is easily accomplished in the Magento Admin backend

Log into your Magento Admin Panel

Go to System ->> Configuration

Click on "Design" in the left side menu pane

Open the "Header" section

Change the file name in the "Logo Image Src" to the file name you just uplaoded. Leave theimages/prefix alone

Click "Save Config"

Now, when you visit your website, your new logo should be displayed in the upper left of the header of the paghe

The Following User Says Thank You to shunavi For This Useful Post:

An important information to share. Here is an another way to change the logo on Magento platform:

Doing it properly will mean your change won't get overridden by a possible update carried out later on. It's a bit of a different process to doing this in the back-end than the front-end. But follow these steps and you can do it without touching core code.

Firstly, you're going to need to make a module in order to do it. Make your module, call it whatever you want and in your config.xml add this

Now, in the images folder you can create a GIF file named logo.gif which will override the default one. logo.gif is specifically stated in the adminhtml templates so if you want to change the file type/name you'll need to override the template that references the logo too.
Optional - Changing the file name/type

If you do want to change the image used, create this folder (same deal with replacing skin_name):

first i had already upload an image magento . after some corrections are performed in that image. then again i upload the image in same name . i finished work after that was not working.what's the reason ?

Great post bro Keep it up After reading this answer i think anybody cant give any advise.
